Pellet Therapy

---

Viking Medical Group now offers Pellecome! Pellecome is a delivery system that calculates the precise dosage of bioidentical hormones.

Pellets offer bioidentical hormones that are delivered consistentlygiving long-lasting and stable results. The compounding process for many hormone treatments can change the drug structurecreating “biosimilar” hormones. The BHRT (bioidentical hormone replacement therapy) pellets we offer use synthetic hormones that are biologically identical to the hormones found in nature.

What is pellet therapy

• Pellets are compressed pure hormones that are implanted under the skinslowly releasing hormones over a long period of time
• Pellets are inserted subcutaneously through a small incision
• Pellets can be easily and safely replaced as potency diminishesusually after at least 4 months 
• Depending on the individualusers may experience results starting from 48 hours up to 2 weeks after the pellets are implanted
• Pellets are smallranging in size from a small grain of rice to the size of a Tic-Tac

What makes pellet therapy unique

A key element that makes BHRT pellets stand apart from other hormone delivery systems is their subcutaneous placement. This results in stable and consistent release of hormones into the bloodstreamwithout the scheduling or skin irritation like you might experience with injectionsgelsor other delivery systems.

Injections can create fluctuations in hormone levelsspiking as the body metabolizes the dosage and then lowering until the next injection. With pelletsthe body is constantly metabolizing a small amount of hormonemeaning fewer peaks and dips.

Implants also don’t affect clotting factors or liver functionmaking them effective and safe.

Pellets are long-lasting! Typicallyone implanted pellet will be effective for 4–6 months.
